A nationally recognized Supreme Court and appellate practice is seeking a highly credentialed associate with 2–4 years of post-law-school experience to join its Washington, D.C. team. The group represents clients before the U.S. Supreme Court, federal courts of appeals, state supreme courts, and serves as embedded appellate counsel in trial courts across a wide range of industries and legal issues.

Associates work closely with partners and clients on some of the most significant appeals and legal questions facing businesses, institutions, and individuals today. The role offers substantial responsibility, meaningful client contact, and a key part in all phases of appellate litigation — from developing case strategy through briefing and oral argument preparation.

The ideal candidate is a thoughtful, creative advocate who enjoys tackling difficult legal questions, writing persuasively, and collaborating on high-stakes matters. Candidates with demonstrated excellence through academic achievement, clerkship service, and experience handling sophisticated litigation are of particular interest.
